okay i'm really curious, what would it be like to date a hypogean and a celestial at the same time? it could be any of the celestials/hypogeans, really, but i'm specifically curious about phraesto and dionel. would they even be able to tolerate each other for merlin's sake, or is there that inevitable scenario where they always end up at each other's necks?
i also find it kinda funny that they're both similar in their own ways-- both are lazy, both have vices (dionel's drinking and phraesto's smoking), both engage in the arts or literature in some form. how would that fare for merlin?
n o t e: this isn't really a request, it's more of a question, or if it was meant as a request you should've followed my template because i'll answer in a more casual, conversational way (using second person as i do).

Well, wild thing to start off with, threesomes would be interesting if you manage to survive. And I doubt you could.
Phaestro and Dionel are quite similar in some regards, but while Dionel is chill and social, Phaestro is more closed off and doesn't speak to many people except for when he tries to "Hallucinations be upon ye" an innocent person. You'd have to keep him on a metaphorical leash.
You see, I don't think they'd show OUTRIGHT agression. Dionel isn't the type and Phaestro is more the type to yap and monologue endlessly at someone, just talking at them. For your sake I think Dionel would take it but would complain when Mr. Pesto is out of earshot. If Phaestro tried to fight Dionel he'd brush him off.
Phaestro is trigger happy with his magic so Dionel miiight have to pull you out of a daze at times. It might escalate to threats from Dionel. They'll never be shit like "I'll rip out your throat", they're way more subtle, again, he's a master of passive aggression. Truly an inspiration to mothers everywhere.
Both would always ask why you even like the other. If you tell them they're alike, you better prepare for a rant for why they're TOTALLLLYYYYYY different and like not at all similar, nah, for sure not similar...
If it's any other combination... oh boy. If it's Scarlita and mf Berial they'll be chasing each other like Tom and Jerry, that one would be near impossible to handle. One is a jester from the depths of the abyss and another a robot from the heavens- neither understand jack squat about humanity unlike the hunk duo. Being around them is like stepping into another world. Despite being "good" Scarlita is cold, and Berial is warmer and "evil". They balance each other out and... make each other so, so much worse? I don't think it's impossible for them to get along. They could form a kind of frenemies thing. I can see it.
Same thing with Reinier and Talene. Shit's gonna get realllyyy interesting. They have their strong values in common. Problem is those values are opposite. They view everything through strange eyes you can't quite parse, one striving for good as in purity, acceptance, light, the other striving for his version of good- a very twisted one at that, one that destroys to rebuild a perfect version of reality. Both realities are frankly impossible and Reinier and Talene are both perfectionists in their own ways. One is the praise kink and the other is the degradation kink. The angel and devil on your shoulder. Here you have true, deep hate between them. And you're the only thing they can agree on... eh, mostly, because they treat you completely differently even though you mean a lot to both.
In short, it'd be highly interesting and not out of the realm of possibility. Dionel & Phaestro- chill, most likely to tolerate each other, Scarlita & Berial- chaotic frenemies, Reinier & Talene- DEATH DEATH WAR, NOPE.
Interesting ask! Makes me want to write an actual fic about some of these...
I've been wondering about Dionel and Scarlita recently, hehe. Do you have any relationship head canons for either of them? Either solo with reader or poly where they both share the reader! Thank you so much hehe

n o t e: yes my requests are open, if they were not i would've written so. i decided to do both solo and poly!
Dionel
•You had met him briefly when traveling with Temesia. Long after that, he just... showed up once.
•And then again. And again. And again. He'd say cryptic shit, wait for you to get confused, and disappear. One day he invited you to a party.
•What he didn't tell you was that it'd be with a bunch of Celestials. You cared little about that, wanting him to answer for himself, though being surrounded by such powerful beings was intimidating.
•It wasn't your crowd and parties weren't your vibe. You were a mage! Meant for libraries and dusty cellars!
•You worried you'd get sent on some endless quest by him. It wouldn't be the first, or last, time. To your surprise, he had thrown the party in your honor as an apology for being strange. He said he knew you once, and you couldn't disprove that.
•It grew from there. Dionel was rather direct, getting together wasn't a drag, even if it was strange to be with a Celestial. He was just another secret you had to carry.
•He understood and didn't mind, seemingly enjoying how much you struggled with keeping it from everyone.
•Some people know about it. Guess who?
•Dionel's chill as a being can get.
•He never gets angry. There was one time when you almost died due to an experiment gone awry and he, for the first time in your whole relationship, looked genuinely angry.
•He just disappears sometimes. You still have no idea where he goes.
•If it was a party, he'd tell you. No idea.
•That eyeliner of his isn't built in, he puts it on from time to time. You've no idea where he keeps the liner and eyeshadow, either.
•He's tall... hurts my neck thinking about looking up at him. He'll kneel to talk to you if he wants to mess with you.
•HIS HAAAIIIRRRRR-
•He might let you brush it if you ask nicely. It defies gravity, it's in the air like he often is.
•You don't live together, since you both have to attend to things way too often. And he doesn't fit in your house too well... oops.
•Almost every time you see him things go awry. Just when you think you'll have a calm date, he drags you to some bar to drink and everyone stares at you. Because he's an inhuman-looking being that's half-naked. And you're some dreary mage, dragged behind him like a petrified dog, your face the same, because you're so worried that everyone is staring. In this case, they are.
•It's really hard to not drink alcohol around this freak. If you don't want to or don't drink, he'll still shove some drink into your hands. You have to go to the bathroom all the time.
•Upon the rare occasion that you get a quiet moment, like sitting on the roof of the Mystic House watching the full moon behind thin clouds, it's lovely. Silence with him is comfortable. He Gets It like no one does, and is always ready to listen or to let you cry silently as he holds you.
•You've injured yourself several times due to his gauntlets. He takes them off around you now. It's their fault they're so bulky.
•You're face to face with his chest at all times. It's torture. Give this slut a shirt!!! 😫
•Great hugs. Look at him and tell me otherwise. You simply can't.
•Due to being calm, it's hard to get him to be energetic. He's in a constant state of being high (on life. And in a constant state of alcoholic buzz. If he wasn't a Celestial he'd be dead.)
Scarlita
•She's pretty cold and doesn't feel or understand emotion like humans. She can't feel love, exactly, but she can strongly care for someone and that's close enough.
•You gained her favor by being generally helpful whenever you crossed paths, which was more often than not. Not many people stick by her side. You did.
•She isn't needed much, and since you run into hypofiends and such often, following you seemed most practical.
•If her body needs any repairs or maintenance work done, you're there to help! Even better when magic is involved. That's your field of expertise.
•You could liken it to washing someone's hair or doing their nails, so it's a quiet bonding activity.
•Once she faced you for a while (staring at you without eyes?) and said "I have no idea how your body works. It's so impractical."
•Is she wrong though?!
•She doesn't notice if you're naked. It doesn't register at all. Maybe she'll say "Oh wow, trying out a new look, are we?" and that's it. It's unusual but cuts down on awkward moments.
•The first time you asked to hold her hand she detached it and gave it to you. You didn't have the heart to correct her.
•She's metal, and she is always COLD in a literal way. Try holding her hand or hugging her and it's like cuddling a fridge.
•Speaking of which. She doesn't understand gestures such as that, either, though to appease you she learns some Human Comforting Routines. Her most favored one is a stiff pat on the head (she's trying her best to learn.)
•You bring Scarlita various mechanical trinkets. You have no idea where she keeps them, but sometimes, when she thinks you're asleep, she stares at them. Her favorite is a music box.
•If you ask, she will carry you. You might even get to fly. Explain how frail and pathetic humans and by extension you are and she'll carry you the whole day >:)
•She is made of metal but she's very light and has a light touch. In battle, she's deadly, but around you, she's as gentle as can be.
•If you need a spider removed she'll just pick it up, same goes with any venomous creature. She can't be bitten.
•She hates the beach and sand!!! It gets all into her joints and she has to get it out. She'll stand like a statue in protest to going anywhere sandy. Don't bother, she's immovable.
•She always dresses the same. When you're in a stained shirt and pants with holes that you've had since before time itself, she's there, radiant and ready for an audience with the Emperor.
•Her floating wings and swaying outfit make people keep their distance. Many have been whacked.
•You help her redo her braids, your human fingers are faster at it. Her hair is made of yarn and is quite soft, and requires little care because it never gets dirty.
•Everyone knows that you two are close- again, the labels are... whatever- but everyone knows something's up. She's around you nearly always, and if asked, she will reveal everything.
•You'll get along well if you're autistic, her and social cues mix like oil and water.
•She's even worse than you with getting sidetracked. She picks up every little sidequest, and it's impossible to stop her. You have to follow her around and make sure she doesn't go on like that for an eternity.
•You don't have forever!!! At least, you don't think you do.
•Her way of showing she cares is doing things for you.
•Winning against hypofiends makes her happy, and if you run into one, you step aside to let her have at it.
•It's convenient to not have to worry about her safety. She's virtually indestructible.
•But she, oh, she worries for you a lot. The more time you spend together the more she worries.
•She helps you work through your issues with a level head. Scarlita isn't involved in the human world, she's so distant from your feelings that to her it's like gears and springs- there's a system to it she can work through without getting caught up.
•HER AXE IS INSANELY HEAVY??? You tried to lift it once and pulled a muscle. She wasn't happy about that.
•People are usually intimated by her. She's harmless to non-hypo-gean/fiends, though it's unconvincing when she stands so tall and has that axe on her at all times.
•In terms of NSFW stuff... yeah, good luck with that. She's probably ace.
Dionel & Scarlita
•They're allies, but they're rather passive-aggressive because they disagree on most matters. Through their relationship with you, they have to become acquaintances and tooootally not friends.
•Dionel understands humans in their more dark, messy, and emotional moments, while Scarlita understands their mental mechanics. They balance out and can dissect people's psyches well if paired together.
•No lies get past them, yours or others'. If you're unwell and pretending to be fine or upset and not saying anything, they can tell and call it out. It's hard saying no to them.
•Dates all together can get even more chaotic. You get dragged to a tavern by Dionel, and then Scarlita talks to some guy about strange occurrences in the town graveyard, and next thing you know you're fighting with the undead.
•Fun date idea- killing graveborns with your partners!!! Yay!!!
•You go to temples as a date, you try to find abandoned ones so you don't have to explain to a scholar or priest what you're doing holding hands with two celestials at four in the morning.
•If you want to sleep near them, you'll have to be on the floor or on a mattress that is as big as the floor.
•Scarlita doesn't understand parties, but Dionel understands battle, you have that in common.
•You show off with your magic to impress them. They tell you you don't have to, but you still do.
